The first legal R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R imported to the U.S. is owned by a Denver, Colo. police officer. In this video, Officer Matt shares his thoughts on his Japanese supercar that was once forbidden fruit on U.S. soil. The R32 Skyline GT-R was the first generation to earn the nickname Godzilla.

This isn’t the police officer’s first sports car. Officer Matt began building muscle cars at age 13 before jumping into the import scene in the late 1990s/early 2000s with a modified Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 complete with 444 all-wheel horsepower and a widebody kit.

His original plans were to save up for an R35 2009 Nissan GT-R while being deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. When he came back, prices for a used R35 example were still out of reach, and he realized the R32 Skyline GT-R was coming up on its 25th anniversary. Officer Matt swapped the stock front clip and wheels with that of a newer R34 Skyline GT-R. Other exterior mods include carbon fiber bits: an R34 hood, trunk lid, and large rear wing.

After an initial baseline dyno run, Officer Matt upped the boost to 12 psi good for 307 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. Eventually, he wants to tune it up to 550 hp and 550 lb-ft at the wheels.
